Featured Cats

Gabrielle

Gabrielle is a beautiful tabby about 2 yrs. old. She's a sweet, gentle girl that is front-paw declawed. Gabby has the sweetest little "meow" which she only uses when her foster mom enters the kitchen, as if to say “Catnip, please!” She likes to be pet and will offer you her tummy for tummy rubs. When her foster mom is on the couch or in bed, Gabby loves to be near or ON her and head butts for LOTS of pets and scratches. While Gabby enjoys affection, she is never demanding. As a matter of fact, she doesn’t linger for hours on end, instead enjoying a good petting and then off to a comfy spot on the couch or floor. Quick movements or someone approaching her too quickly scares her and she runs away. Because of this, we believe she would do best in a quiet adults-only home. Gabby would be perfect for a single person or a childless couple. This little sweetie is no trouble at all. If you're looking for a low maintenance new companion, come meet Gabby!

 

Lacy

Lacy is a beautiful kitten with interesting markings which look like a cows. She's about 9 months old, but very petite. She has soft silky fur and loves to be petted once she feels comfortable with you. Lacy is extremely playful and would love to go to a home an existing friendly cat.

... Creating Families,
            4 Paws At A Time

Every day innocent pets are left homeless and abandoned in Chicagoland. Adopt-A-Pet has found loving homes for over 14,000 of those cats and dogs.

If you are looking for a family pet, consider adopting a wonderful pet from Adopt-A-Pet. Most of our cats and dogs are kept in foster homes, where they live as part of a family. Not only is this beneficial for the animal, but it also helps us create a purrfect match between an animal and a prospective adopter.

Featured Dog: Resa

ResaResa is a 6-7 month old female mixed hound. She currently weighs about 35 lbs. Resa is now housebroken and is an affectionate, intelligent and playful puppy (she loves other dogs!) who likes to relax in your lap. Resa has quite an interest in learning tricks and is very smart. She will sit on command, lay down, roll over, and shakes both paws. Her foster mom says: She is truly one of the smartest dogs I have ever fostered. She loves to learn and is so attentive and has an incredible attention span for such a young pup. She also rides well in a car and walks well on a leash. Resa may be smart but is still full of puppy energy, so she needs to go to a home who will continue with her obedience training and give her plenty of exercise. Ideally she will not be left alone full time hours unless taken out by a dog walker during the day. Anyone who will invest some time into Resa is going to end up with one awesome dog!
